Two weeks ago, I encountered an unusual situation upon disembarking at MIA from SDQ. Upon deplaning and entering the rather narrow jetbridge, I was startled to notice ten uniformed and serious-looking Customs Service officers, packing heat as is standard practice, five stationed on each side of the jetbridge facing towards the opposite wall.

The setup forced passengers to navigate the narrow space between these guys to get into the terminal. After running this gauntlet, there were two more plainclothes officials at the top of the jetbridge.

Any theories as to what their objective was, other than freaking out the entire planeload of pax?
